This year’s Festival theme:
Frome’s Rich History in the Textile Industry

This year’s brochure cover will celebrate Frome’s rich heritage in the textile industry, and the places that made it happen. This history of creation links perfectly with the creative producers and artisans that make Frome so special today. Frome Festival 2025 will celebrate this creative spirit in all shapes and sizes, including fashion shows, visual arts projects, industrial history talks, artisan markets and so much more.
